SINGAPORE: A local Reddit user asked if anyone else felt “left behind in life.” On the r/askSingapore forum on Thursday (Nov 21), he wrote that while people around him going on vacation, having six-figure savings, eating expensive food, buying Rolex watches, buying flats, and other such examples of prosperity in their 30s, they barely have any money to put away at the end of the month despite working two jobs. He wrote that they can “barely provide” for their parents, neither of whom works, and he himself has to face their “never-ending” household, medical, food, loan, and other bills. The money the household makes is not enough to qualify for subsidies, but the post author feels that they don’t have enough to survive. As for their personal expenses, he wrote that they only spend between $550 and $700 a month and live with a laptop and phone that are eight years old. If one of these gadgets breaks down, replacing it will eat into what little savings they have. Although he tried to gain more skills, he doesn’t have a lot of time and money to do so and now feels trapped in a cycle where he wants to grow but can’t while he sees everyone else around achieving everything they dream of. The biggest piece of advice commenters gave him was not to let what he saw on social media dictate his happiness. As one Reddit user wrote, “Repeat after me. Social media is smoke and mirrors.” One commenter admitted that they’ve posted about dining out but, in real life, have to stick to a very strict budget the rest of the time, which no one else sees. Another wrote that when they had to take care of their elderly mother last year after she fell ill, the cleaner in their building reminded them of how lucky they are to still have their mum. “So, sometimes we think our life sucks, but someone else thinks otherwise. Hope you can see the positives in your life right now,” they added. Others commended the post author for working and trying so hard to have a good life and encouraged them to continue to pursue their dreams. /TISG Read also: What are the current struggles of a Singaporean adult?

, 2024 (Reuters) - Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter has died at age 100. Here are some of his quotes: * "I can't deny I'm a better ex-president than I was a president." - 2005 interview with reporters * "The threat is nearly invisible in ordinary ways. It is a crisis of confidence. It is a crisis that strikes at the very heart and soul and spirit of our national will. We can see this crisis in the growing doubt about the meaning of our own lives and in the loss of a unity of purpose for our nation. "The erosion of our confidence in the future is threatening to destroy the social and the political fabric of America. - a 1979 televised address on what was wrong with America; it became known as Carter's "malaise speech" * "America did not invent human rights. In a very real sense, it is the other way round. Human rights invented America." - Carter's Jan. 14, 1981, presidential farewell address * "I've looked on many women with lust. I've committed adultery in my heart many times. God knows I will do this and forgives me." - a 1976 interview with Playboy magazine * "A simple and a proper function of government is just to make it easy for us to do good and difficult for us to do wrong." - Carter's speech accepting the Democratic presidential nomination in 1976 * "War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other's children." - Carter's 2002 Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech * "I think that under Trump the government is worse than it has been before. This is the first time I remember when the truth is ignored, allies are deliberately aggravated, China, Europe, Mexico and Canada are hurt economically and have to hurt us in response, Americans see the future worse than the present, and immigrants are treated cruelly." - Carter in a 2018 interview with Salon (Compiled by Bill Trott and Alex Dobuzinskis; Editing by Diane Craft)

ATLANTA (AP) — Jimmy Carter, the peanut farmer who tried to restore virtue to the White House after the Watergate scandal and Vietnam War, then rebounded from a landslide defeat to become a global advocate of human rights and democracy, has died. He was 100 years old . The Carter Center said the 39th president died Sunday, more than a year after entering hospice care , at his home in Plains, Georgia, where he and his wife, Rosalynn, who died in November 2023, lived most of their lives. A moderate Democrat, Carter ran for president in 1976 as a little-known Georgia governor with a broad grin, effusive Baptist faith and technocratic plans for efficient government. His promise to never deceive the American people resonated after Richard Nixon’s disgrace and U.S. defeat in southeast Asia. “If I ever lie to you, if I ever make a misleading statement, don’t vote for me. I would not deserve to be your president,” Carter said. Carter’s victory over Republican Gerald Ford, whose fortunes fell after pardoning Nixon, came amid Cold War pressures, turbulent oil markets and social upheaval over race, women’s rights and America’s role in the world. His achievements included brokering Mideast peace by keeping Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin at Camp David for 13 days in 1978. But his coalition splintered under double-digit inflation and the 444-day hostage crisis in Iran. His negotiations ultimately brought all the hostages home alive, but in a final insult, Iran didn’t release them until the inauguration of Ronald Reagan, who had trounced him in the 1980 election. Humbled and back home in Georgia, Carter said his faith demanded that he keep doing whatever he could, for as long as he could, to try to make a difference. He and Rosalynn co-founded The Carter Center in 1982 and spent the next 40 years traveling the world as peacemakers, human rights advocates and champions of democracy and public health. Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, Carter helped ease nuclear tensions in North and South Korea, avert a U.S. invasion of Haiti and negotiate cease-fires in Bosnia and Sudan. By 2022, the center had monitored at least 113 elections around the world. Carter was determined to eradicate guinea worm infections as one of many health initiatives. Swinging hammers into their 90s, the Carters built homes with Habitat for Humanity. The common observation that he was better as an ex-president rankled Carter. His allies were pleased that he lived long enough to see biographers and historians revisit his presidency and declare it more impactful than many understood at the time. Propelled in 1976 by voters in Iowa and then across the South, Carter ran a no-frills campaign. Americans were captivated by the earnest engineer, and while an election-year Playboy interview drew snickers when he said he “had looked on many women with lust. I’ve committed adultery in my heart many times,” voters tired of political cynicism found it endearing. The first family set an informal tone in the White House, carrying their own luggage, trying to silence the Marine Band’s traditional “Hail to the Chief" and enrolling daughter, Amy, in public schools. Carter was lampooned for wearing a cardigan and urging Americans to turn down their thermostats. But Carter set the stage for an economic revival and sharply reduced America's dependence on foreign oil by deregulating the energy industry along with airlines, trains and trucking. He established the departments of Energy and Education, appointed record numbers of women and nonwhites to federal posts, preserved millions of acres of Alaskan wilderness and pardoned most Vietnam draft evaders. Emphasizing human rights , he ended most support for military dictators and took on bribery by multinational corporations by signing the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. He persuaded the Senate to ratify the Panama Canal treaties and normalized relations with China, an outgrowth of Nixon’s outreach to Beijing. But crippling turns in foreign affairs took their toll. When OPEC hiked crude prices, making drivers line up for gasoline as inflation spiked to 11%, Carter tried to encourage Americans to overcome “a crisis of confidence.” Many voters lost confidence in Carter instead after the infamous address that media dubbed his “malaise" speech, even though he never used that word. After Carter reluctantly agreed to admit the exiled Shah of Iran to the U.S. for medical treatment, the American Embassy in Tehran was overrun in 1979. Negotiations to quickly free the hostages broke down, and then eight Americans died when a top-secret military rescue attempt failed. Carter also had to reverse course on the SALT II nuclear arms treaty after the Soviets invaded Afghanistan in 1979. Though historians would later credit Carter's diplomatic efforts for hastening the end of the Cold war, Republicans labeled his soft power weak. Reagan’s “make America great again” appeals resonated, and he beat Carter in all but six states. Born Oct. 1, 1924, James Earl Carter Jr. married fellow Plains native Rosalynn Smith in 1946, the year he graduated from the Naval Academy. He brought his young family back to Plains after his father died, abandoning his Navy career, and they soon turned their ambitions to politics . Carter reached the state Senate in 1962. After rural white and Black voters elected him governor in 1970, he drew national attention by declaring that “the time for racial discrimination is over.” Carter published more than 30 books and remained influential as his center turned its democracy advocacy onto U.S. politics, monitoring an audit of Georgia’s 2020 presidential election results. After a 2015 cancer diagnosis, Carter said he felt “perfectly at ease with whatever comes.” “I’ve had a wonderful life,” he said. “I’ve had thousands of friends, I’ve had an exciting, adventurous and gratifying existence.” ___ Contributors include former AP staffer Alex Sanz in Atlanta. Bill Barrow, The Associated PressCommentator Stephen A. Smith suggested that having already issued a sweeping pardon for son Hunter Biden, President Biden should even the scales by doing the same for President-elect Donald Trump. The outspoken sports and sometimes-politics journalist suggested that the bipartisan pairing would help a bitterly divided country “move forward.” In an appearance on NewsNation, host Chris Cuomo told Mr. Smith that he would follow on the Hunter Biden move by also pardoning Mr. Trump, causing Mr. Smith to add “that’s exactly what I would do.” “Enough’s enough,” Mr. Smith said. “You know what? You’re the Democrats. You lost the election. You got your butt whipped. You could’ve prevented him from going back to the White House. More than a dozen cases have been dropped against him, the cases that have been ruled against him, he’s going to appeal and he’ll probably get off from having to deal with all of that. It’s time to move forward.” He added that the Democratic desire to “get at Trump” now means working on the 2026 midterm elections and judging “every single act” in his new four-year term rather than dredging up past acts and engaging in lawfare against him — a strategy that clearly just failed. Mr. Smith cited the precedent of President Ford, who issued the last pardon as sweeping as Hunter Biden’s, pardoning former President Richard Nixon for “all offenses against the United States” during his presidency. Ford was acting to de-escalate a vicious fight “for the good of the country,” despite the obvious personal political risk, Mr. Smith said, adding that this is a virtue in short supply now. “A lot of times, these folks speak about this stuff, but they don’t do what they say they’re going to do and what they implore others to do,” he said, an account in the Washington Examiner. Mr. Biden’s sweeping pardon of his son was issued Sunday night and absolves all “offenses against the United States which he has committed or may have committed or taken part in” over an 11-year period. It was a clear reversal from months of public statements on the matter that Mr. Biden had made, and caused others to make on his behalf. The president claimed his son was the victim of selective prosecution by his own Justice Department. Any presidential pardon for Mr. Trump would be only partial though regarding his legal cases. Two of the four clusters of charges are in state courts, over which a president has no power. New York already has convicted him of falsifying business records to cover up hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels and Georgia is accusing him of a racketeering conspiracy to overturn the 2020 presidential election in that state. Both cases are on hold or appeal for varying reasons, though. Copyright © 2024 The Washington Times, LLC. . Click to Read More and View Comments Click to Hide

Tuofa CNC Machining Expands Precision Services For The Medical IndustryTeen sensation Sam Konstas says he is up for the challenge of playing Test cricket this summer, believing he is in the right headspace to debut for Australia. Konstas catapulted back into the public spotlight on Sunday when he smashed a 90-ball century against a Test-level Indian attack for the Prime Minister's XI in Canberra. The runs showed the 19-year-old is clearly a step above, with only one other batsman in the PM's XI top or middle order passing five runs. He is also a keen meditator before games, and moves quickly to the wicket in a statement of intent at the start of his innings. "I don't get too fazed about (the hype)," Konstas said. "It's about being in the present and being the best version of myself, and then hopefully let the result take care of itself." Likewise, Konstas said he had not been too down about missing out on Test selection for the start of the summer. "I feel like it's all part of the journey," he said. "Unfortunately I didn't get the runs that I would have liked. "But I've been reflecting on how I could have done better and challenging how they got me out and tactics they used."Need a research hypothesis? Ask AI
